"The Bushcraft Handbooks" were first published in Australia in 1952. His rationale was that the reader was more inclined to take a 40 page handbook with him into the wilds than a 400 page book. The Bushcraft Handbooks are useless unless the reader practices the skills the books were designed to impart.

About this product

Product Information

The Bushcraft Handbooks were first published in Australia in 1952. Based on the Author's wartime service in Australia and New Guinea teaching Junglecraft to Australian and American forces, they are distilled, concentrated old-time bushcraft kwledge, presented in a very easy to assimilate format. For those who remember them, the Bushcraft Handbooks are also a heavy hit of stalgia. Rather than publish all of the volumes under the one cover, the Author originally chose to publish each aspect of bushcraft in its own individual handbook. His rationale was that the reader was more inclined to take a 40 page handbook with him into the wilds than a 400 page book. The former can be easily slipped into a pocket or daypack, while the latter cant. The Bushcraft Handbooks are useless unless the reader practices the skills the books were designed to impart. The individual handbooks format was chosen to support that end. Out of print for decades, and in keeping with the Author's wishes, this series of Bushcraft Handbooks are reproduced as close to their original format as possible. The series comprises the following volumes: Bush Ropemaking, Bush Hutmaking, Traps & Snares, Bush Campcraft, Time & Direction, Travel & Gear, Food & Water in the Bush, Firemaking & Lighting, Trapping & Tracks, Kts & Lashings. From the introduction to Kts & LashingsThe ability to join two pieces of natural material together, and so increase their length, gives man the ability to make full use of many natural materials found locally. Sailors probably did more to develop order in the tying of kts, because for them it was necessary t only to tie securely but also to be able to untie, often in the dark and under conditions of bad weather and with rain-tightened ropes. In bushcraft work probably half a dozen kts would suffice, but kts and ktting have a fascination for many people the world over, and a comprehensive range of kts, plain and fancy, and, with these, splices, whipping, plaits, and net making are included in this book with information of general use. Kt tying is a useful exercise to obtain better coordination between eyes and fingers. The identification of kts by feel is an excellent means of developing recognition through touch. In all woodcraft work it is necessary to kw how to tie kts which will hold securely and yet can be untied easily. Many of the materials which you will have to use will be green, some will be slippery with sap, and there are many little tricks and knacks to get the best possible use from the materials available.
